gabizago 's review for:
The Doll Factory
by Elizabeth Macneal
Even though I liked the characters - Silas and Iris are well constructed and complex characters - I struggled with the story itself. At some point, it feels like it is dragging itself. And it also becomes a little bit predictable. So it's more like a Victorian suspense that is not actually a suspense since you kind of know what is going to happen. All in all, it's not a bad book, and it is interesting to learn how miserable the life of the poor class was compared to the rich back in the 1800s.
